Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0452

Moving towards the small bar at the corner of his office, he gets a small pack of ice, wraps it in a towel before corning back to me. Gently, he takes my hand and places the ice on it.

"Does it hurt?" he asks so softly that I struggle to hear him.

"A bit.."

"I didn't think you had it in you to punch someone"

I laugh because I also didn't think I had it in me. "I had enough and just acted without thinking. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. I shouldn't have punched her. That doesn't really portray a good image of me as the boss's wife."

He leans in and stares intensely into my eyes.

"Never ever fucking apologize for defending or standing up for yourself, Harper. You are my fucking wife, let them know you're not someone to mess with."

"I just don't get it, did you sleep with her?" I blurt out the question.

"Fuck no!" he growls.

"Then why does she think she has a hold on you? All our interaction always included her warning me away from you. She behaved like you were hers or something."
